If you dont retain status how long does it take to reflect on your profile? Eg WP not being able to renew, but travelling the first few days in the new membership year, any chance of First lounge access?
Good review. The only thing missing now is a World Platinum tatoo on your forehead so the FOTSGS and airline staff can identify you immediately and accord you due courtesy.
Membership year ends 31st Jan. Currently WP with 500+ SC, from roll-over. Does it make more sense to do a status run in Feb 2024 to requalify for WP from SG (but needing 1400 SC) but having it for nearly 2 years vs renewing (600+ SC) it prior to 31st Jan 2024?
Jucy Snooze CHC is quite adequate for a solo traveller, esp is arriving near midnight and leaving on the early morning MEL or SYD flights. Otherwise I'd try the Novotel, looks really good.
